Challenges

Gadget Depot Kenya faced numerous challenges before engaging E-Startups Kenya for the improvement of their site. Their outdated e-commerce framework hindered functionality and customization options, while slow loading times and cybersecurity vulnerabilities posed risks to user experience and data security. Compliance with data privacy regulations was a concern, and inefficient store locator and delivery services created a disjointed omnichannel experience. Additionally, their infrastructure lacked scalability and reliability, making it difficult to adapt to market demand and maintain high performance during peak traffic.

This enabled seamless navigation, secure transactions, and enhanced customization capabilities, empowering them to provide a convenient and reliable shopping environment for their customers.

    

2.  Cloudflare for Enhanced Performance and Security
